Tribute To A Vault Hunter achievement in Borderlands 2

364 32 46

Michael Mamaril will give you ether a Blue/Purple/Legendary weapon he is located at random points around sanctuary.
His spawn locations can be found here: http://imgur.com/rFVQowp
It is best not to try to farm for Michael as you will most likely see him whilst roaming Sanctuary but if you do insist on farming him (from what I have read online) He has a 10% chance of spawning before Sanctuary is in the air and a 8% chance whilst in the air. When you do find him simply talk to him he will say something then hand you a weapon, pick up the weapon then BOOM achievement

And for those who do not know Michael Mamaril was a Borderlands fan who unfortunately died at the age of 22 in October 2011 his friend Carlos sent Gearbox an email to ask that Claptrap (His favourite character) read a eulogy. Gearbox also promised that Michael would be in Borderlands 2 as a tribute

This one sucked. I attempted to find him at least 100 times after Sanctuary was in air. Then in true vault hunter mode I made my way back to Sanctuary (Before Sanctuary was flying) and I had to try about 15-20 more times and he eventually popped up in the area between Scooter's and Moxxi's

Finally found him and got a sniper from him and the achievement didn't pop.

Can anyone help me with this? I have been playing non stop for 2 weeks, even farmed for a few hours everyday, nothing

Got him to spawn in on the 11th run in Dr. Zed’s shack. Imported character, level 50 post campaign.

Can confirm you do not need to be any specific level to find this NPC. The video another user posted showed a level 7 finding him at all locations. I found him in Moxxi's bar at level 9. Took about 10-15 quit/restarts to get him.

Took about an hour of reloading sanctuary and checking all the locations, and finally found the silly guy at Moxxi's bar

Personnely I didn't force it by reloading, everytime I went sanctuary I ran round it if he wasn't there just checked again next time I had to turn a mission in. Found him facing Marcus in the store area, this was while sanctuary was floating.
